I am using finite elements to model a frame which has several fillet welded joints. I am using effective notch stress method to get accurate stresses. I studied the effect of adding a chamfer to the connected plates (butt weld and fillet weld on top). In some joints the weld toe stress reduces...

I changed a spring element to link11 actuator element in a command object and defined an axial force to the actuator. Spring object: actuator = _sid ET,actuator,11 R,actuator,1000,,10 !stiffness 1000, mass 10 Environment branch: SFE,2431,2,PRES,0,1000 !2431 is the element number, axial...

Is it possible to deactivate and activate spring elements in Workbench Mechanical? For example, deactivate at t=2s and activate at t=4? I have seen examples of this for contact elements where both contact and targets elements are deactivated using ekill command but how does it work for springs?

How to run a python script file in ACT console?

I would like to create a macro button in SpaceClaim. The button would be a drawing tool to create a triangle shaped weld (input throat thickness). Can someone give some tips/resources how to get started?

Can you access this functionality via ACT console? https://www.dropbox.com/s/epkoy1cff3orqk5/saveimg.png?dl=0

Hello, Is there a way in Workbench to input many solution combination coefficients efficiently? For example if one solution combination consists of 12 load cases and there are >10 solution combinations which have to be calculated.

I have calculated a heat transfer coefficient for a flow over flat plate according to Incropera's heat transfer book. In addition I created a model in CFX and calculated the heat transfer coefficient (I used expert parameter tbulk set to air inlet temperature 20C=293K). The values are 7.9 and...

Hello, I am getting the following error message in my analysis when opening post processing. Anybody have an idea what is wrong and how to fix it? System.ApplicationException: Application Error in CFD-Post: ERROR No locators provided in location parameter 'Location List'. at...

Hello, I have modelled a water cooling channel shown in the picture below. Now I would need chart where on the y axis is temperature and on the axis length coordinate along the channel (in the middle). I know I can use a polyline tool for this but what is the fastest way to get the coordinates...

In an analysis with multiple load steps (>10), is there a way to add a new load step in between the old load steps? Also is there a way to delete a specified load step from analysis? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I would want to create a custom view where isometric view is modified so that the part is rotated 38 degrees around global y axis (please see the attached image). I found the following code but don't know how to modify it to achieve the above mentioned view. <?xml version="1.0"...
